Brrr

Seemed to have lots on this morning. Was briefly interviewed about Planet Poetry by Tim Relf for Poetry News. Also met with Keith, and sent off some Xmas business communications, and did some recordings with Robin this afternoon. 

Drove off this afternoon to buy a Christmas tree, and then went to Morrisons to stock up on food, but ended up buying quite a bit of Christmas booze too: a bottle of rum, and some beers and ciders. 

Gratefully home as it was very cold. Dragged the tree into the back garden and put it in a bucket. Battened down the hatches, ate fish pie and watched the Masterchef final episode in the warm.

Toby called too, which was nice. Had a good chat -- he is very much looking forward to their holiday in Japan.
